This is a really stupid post, sorry.
My ex and I split up not quite a year ago. We had two beautiful, incredible black labs together. He kept them and is doing the most amazing job of looking after them. I still see them (and him, obviously) weekly at least, and either we go for lush long walks or we stay and cuddle and watch tv together (me and the dogs, not me and the ex!!).
So I feel really pathetic for saying I miss them like hell they have the best life they could hope for, he does an exceptional job of caring for them. I still get to see absolutely loads of them, and that could have been so different if we hadn't stayed friends etc.. But I'm having a bad day today and I just want to cuddle up with BigDog or play with LittleDog. I'm not in the position to have another any time soon, nowhere near - and I know we made the right choice. But I still miss them so much it's like a physical ache sometimes.
I know there aren't really any answers, but just wanted to share with people who understand how much your dogs are a part of you. Not sure my non-dog owning friends get how painful it is not to be able to stroke my boys' gorgeous faces whenever I want to or escape on a walk with them for a bit. And nearly one year on I feel like I should be "over it" by now, or maybe adjusted to it better than I am.
Pathetic, I know. x
